Don't mind the Halo 3 Heaven and Master chief parts (They wont cause a prob i dont think )

I might be wrong, but I think characters such as ? and ( and ) may cause problems with the xml parser (similar to how you have to use &lt; and &gt; for < and > respectivly)

I agree with Spunky. I think the characters ( ) can cause problems.

extract the resources from 9.0 it tells you how to on this forum and also in the documentation (I think) and please try and read other threads before creating new ones and use [Help] and the subject next to it as people will reply alot quicker if they have had the problem before or can help with the problem

just "i need help" titles people don't always look at I have just logged onto the forum for the first time today and in this skins section there are like 20 unread threads and I am not planning on looking at them all based on the titles alone

No they don't. The only characters which may cause errors are:

quote:

---

< > " ' &

---

and they can be escaped by using:

&lt; &gt; &quot; &apos; &amp;

Personally, I think it's your picture. I don't have 9.0 BETA (and I won't get it as I don't like it) so I can't test this, so maybe someone else can give it a try?

do you have a clouds.jpg picture in your skin folder?

if not then the picture won't show up

Mattike, these characters < > " are usde in the codes and are definetely not causing problems. It may be what djdannyp says.

there is no id 20061 in the resources i have for 9.0

20852 i think is the id you need i am not sure though

Yes, I know that. Read again: The only characters which may cause errors are... With that I meant that these characters are the only ones who could cause errors in certain cases. Ah well,... who cares anyway?

Correct

This, along with not having a clouds.jpg picture in your skin folder may be the problem which is causing your skin not to work
